I am a Director for an MSP. It's absolute Chaos. Not just Outlook either, it takes down the majority of MFA for all the apps and products as well as MS Authenticator. People sitting around twiddling their thumbs....

Yep, that's why I'm here. Kinda stuck in the mud. I'm just super relieved I submitted by last project just before it all went down. I hope this doesn't go into the morning.

I worked with global manufacturing plants and everyone is down. Absolute chaos everywhere. Even shipping is a nightmare on anything intl over $2500. Cant file a AEES/EEI filing with fed ex to authorized the dollar shipments. Were having to break down shipment into qtys below $2500 to get them out. Turning 1 shipment into 6-7-8 shipments. S**TSHOW!!

Yup and with so much of the MFA being email based, some things are just dead in the water. Reading their outage reports would be comical if they weren't so terrifying.

I can feel their pain, but wow they know how to have an outage.

Current status: We’re continuing to pursue all available pathways to restore service, as our actions taken thus far have not provided the anticipated relief. Our investigation has found that a core process on the affected servers is becoming overwhelmed, which causes the servers to stop responding and contributes to the capacity loss.

Yup, and I think these types of incidences are slowly ramping up.
